isn't it very temporary advantage, till couple of decade back text wasn't searchable, and in couple of decades images may be equally searchable. Also pictures commonly have universal meanings.

Not really. Here's a common example

This pictures means different things in different cultures.

Most people would know that means "exit" but in true American fashion the United States uses a different sign - http://www.oneskilladay.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Exit-...
I gotta say it took me a long time abroad to figure out what the green running man sign meant.
